Councillor Norman Jorgensen, the then Chairman of the Joint Public Protection Committee, said: “The new Public Protection Community Fund is funded from assets seized from criminals as a result of their criminal activity. Grants of up to £7,500 per group have been awarded to seven local not-for-profit organisations seeking funding for crime prevention in their local community.”
